St. Kitts - Nevis will be the first organisation of the Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) territory to be part of the OPAAL video documentary filming.
The OECS Protected Areas and Associated Livelihoods project (OPAAL) is an initiative by which participating countries have made significant commitments to protecting their countries? resources. The participants have signed into international conventions and issued policy statements regarding recent environmental programs.
At present, video material is being collected by All Biz Ltd., a film company based in St. Lucia, which will create the documentary based on OPAAL sites and other protected areas.
The SKN Federation?s OPAAL Demonstration Site is the Central Forest Reserve National Park, the mountain above the 1,000 feet contour in the centre of St. Kitts. All Biz Ltd. visited St. Kitts during the week of December 07 and filmed the uses and activities in the protected area, interactions between users, livelihoods and community benefits, biodiversity values, and negative human interference to the environment.
Similar footage will be collected by All Biz from the rest of the six OECS Territories that participate in the OPAAL initiative. As such, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and St. Lucia are included in the regional filming tour. In addition to the full video documentary which All Biz is contracted by the OECS Secretariat to produce by March 2010, a shorter version will be prepared for airing on the St. Kitts Visitor Channel.
